When the birth control pill was first released, people opposed it by claiming that women would just take trains of lovers while their husband was at work, since there was no longer the risk of pregnancy.
That was 64 years and many of those people became politicians and church leaders or passed their shitty views down to their shitty children.
Who cares what you’ve seen? Nobody is interested in the pinkie promises of the pro-gun community – they want actual regulations with actual enforcement but every step of the way, corporate interests and useful idiots are there to block them.
Background checks are optional. Gun safety is optional. This is what the pro-gun community insists on time and time again.
Semantic bullshit designed to drag out the conversation instead of addressing the problem. Nobody has gloves in their glove compartment
Multiple attempts have been made to close this loophole and have been blocked by the pro-gun community, rendering background checks optional – if you don’t want your background checked, buy privately.
If you want to make effective regulations, then you need to understand what regulations already exist, how guns work, and how loopholes are exploited.
There is no gun control legislation that the pro-gun crowd will support. It doesn’t matter how minor, or how perfectly written.
Otherwise, you get another AWB that bans a bunch of cosmetic features that really don’t matter.
No problem, we’ll just ban all sales of semi-automatic weapons and firearms under a certain length (such as revolvers). After 20+ years, it’s clear the pro-gun crowd has no solution.
I just have to wait. One day, the millions of school children that Republicans, gun owners and the gun lobby sold out will have to send their own children to school.
At some point, a “responsible gun owner” owned that gun and allowed it to end up in the hands of a teenager. Any other country would hold them accountable.
You’re reinforcing my point, not rebutting it. People steal things that are there to steal. Its why they can steal cars and alcohol but not fighter jets and hand grenades. Things don’t magically pop into existence for people to steal.
The majority of firearms used in crime are stolen or purchased via straw purchases.
Then storage laws and background checks are completely inadequate for vetting gun owners.
So if you’re car is ever stolen and then used to run down someone or commit a crime, you think you should be held responsible right?
We can apply your deeply stupid “laws must be the same for all things” in the other direction too.
Should companies that use high explosives be able to just leave them laying around untracked and shrug off responsibility when they’re stolen and used to kill people? Should you be able to sell explosives to anybody you want with no obligation to ensure they licensed to have them?
Well regulated in this sense means kept in good order
A definition that millions of gun owners also fail to meet. How exactly does a militia made up of morbidly obese, mentally ill men with no demonstrable ability to safely handle or use a weapon count as “in good order”?
If you put them in a room full of neo-nazis, they could explain it just fine. They only have trouble explaining it on television, where they need to pretend they’re not racist authoritarians.
They don’t care about ill will, they care about money. They made nothing from third party apps and millions from gutting the API and selling it to AI companies.
I hate to burst your little reactionary bubble but there is zero chance that a key stakeholder said “sales are down, we need to include a black person”. AAA games have been growing worse as developers seek minimum risk for maximum profit and what you’re deeming “inclusive propaganda” simply doesn’t translate into lower risks nor higher profits.
If you can’t handle a black person in your game, don’t play it. Culture and society are going to leave you behind anyway so you may as well get used to missing out.
You’re working backwards trying to find excuses. Even disregarding the fact that “black guy is meant to be stealthy” is looking objectively wrong, the “I put my hood up and sat on a bench so now I’m invisible” mechanic has been a joke spanning back to literally the first AC game ever made. If you wanted to get upset about how implausible it is, you’re more than 15 years too late.
Changing a characters race? What character has had their race changed? The entire story is absolutely going to revolve around him being a black man in Japan and has likely been that way from the earliest preproduction.
I can understand why all the other things would be listed here, and I would understand if sexuality in general was considered inappropriate for children, but why homosexuality in particular? This is strange to me....
Literally the sentence before that one was you being critical of pride parades, so I guess you mean “You do you (but only with my rubber stamp of approval)”
